got my B running

   I should say I got my wifes B running. It was her dad's and I bought it off her mom after her dad died. This thing had been rebuilt and probably wasn't run 4 hours, he got sick and never got it finished. It had been sitting since around 88-89 was when it last ran. I would turn it over and pull the clutch petal so when we pulled it out of her mom's garage in 09, it cranked good with the hand crank just no spark.Well I recently got another mag, and this weekend my brotherinlaw was up (he had helped move it during the rebuild), I wanted to have him here when I fired it up, as we both had an interest in it. He just had no desire to own it. we pulled her out of the shed and installed the new mag. Hooked a battery up and it cranked it over and it fired. We adjusted a couple things and she was running. I drove it around the yard, needs some fine tuning but all in all it was smoothing up. We looked it up and found it is a 1940, Clair always thought it was a 39. Will take some pics later as we get things fixed up. Jeff

	Not bad for a 71 year old tractor that has been sitting. My favorate is one of the most dependable tractors I know. Always good to hear another of my favorates is up and running. Love to see pictures. Good Luck! Bill Long
